In a city of love and prosperity, a city of lost hope and premature
death, veteran detective Hei (TONY LEUNG CHIU-WAI) feels it all: the
hurt, the helplessness, the horror. When his father-in-law, the billionaire
benefactor Chau, is gruesomely murdered in his palatial mansion, he
enlists the assistance of his former partner turned private detective,
Bong (TAKESHI KANESHIRO).

But Bong has his own demon to fight. Ever since the suicide of his pregnant
girlfriend, he has lost his joie de vivre, even though he still retains
the finest instincts of a man hunter. As he digs deeper and deeper into
the case, all evidence seems to point to Chau's daughter and Hei's hysterical
wife, Susan. But then the killer ups the ante by murdering Susan as
well. Bong starts grappling with the suspicion that the man they hunt
is someone very close to them, someone on the verge of a total breakdown.

Like lost souls in a city of fallen angels, the cop, the private detective,
and the killer are doing what they must. Every step of their journey
takes them closer and closer to one another, until a shocking denouement
in which no stone is left unturned and no one can escape unscathed.
